Personal life
editJohnson grew up in the Leeds suburb of Roundhay and attended The Grammar School at Leeds. He played cricket up until the age of 16 but then decided to focus exclusively on tennis.[2]
He moved to the United States for his higher education and played tennis for Clemson University.[3]
Career
editJohnson made his ATP Tour and Grand Slam main draw debut simultaneously at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships after receiving a wildcard for direct entry into the doubles draw.[4] Partnering compatriot Evan Hoyt, the pair were defeated in the first round by Nicholas Monroe and Mischa Zverev.[5]
He reached the top 100 in the rankings at world No. 83 on 29 January 2024 when he won a Challenger title at the 2024 BW Open with Skander Mansouri.[6][7]
At the back end of the 2024 season, Johnson won his 10th ATP Challenger Tour doubles title at the Porto Open[8] and his sixth of the season, at the Saint-Tropez Open, playing alongside Sander Arends.[9]
Once again partnering Arends, Johnson won his first ATP Tour level doubles title at the last tournament of the season at the 2024 Moselle Open, defeating Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Albano Olivetti in the final.[10] The following week he was back on the ATP Challenger Tour and won his 12th career title and seventh of the season at the 2024 All In Open in Lyon, partnering Lucas Miedler to a straight sets win over Sergio Martos Gornés and David Pichler in the final.[11]
